Another Stonewolf with Oil City Pickups ... first Preview

OilCityPickups

Another Stonewolf guitar to premier at the London Guitar Show ... BlackWolf ceramic bridge pickup, Blackwolf P90 Strat size single coil in the neck. 
Yes ... the colours are totally over the top, but  'bubblegum' was the brief ... so we went BIG on the palate, with clear bobbins and red wire!

What makes a singlecoil sized p90 not just a singlecoil?

Twin opposed bar magnets, and adjustable poles .... to give the softer magnetic field,  characteristic of P90s ... and winding level and output power.

That is very cool, how close does it sound to a full size one?

It's like a Strat neck pickup and a P90 had an aggressive love child :-)

Q1 - What sort of price would that be?
Q2 - Would it be possible to build one with a coil tap such that the tapped output mode produces a passable "Fender" sound?
